Take it for what it's worth .. and it may be nothing. But, lead writer for the website Men of the Scarlet and Gray, an Ohio fan site stated on twitter that he has information from a very reliable source that a current Ohio player is in serious legal trouble. he stated he will not give any information until the arrest record is published online.

This has caused an uproar among Ohio fans on twitter, many saying he is just starting a rumor .. which makes no sense since he is a diehard Ohio fan, and he hasn't posted anything about it on his site, so he's not trying to get clicks from it. He seems to stand behind this source.

The original post was 11 hours ago, but he remains solid on his stance as of a few minutes ago.

Mod edit: This at least sounds less life altering than some of the sexual assault cases, and with speculation already around I don't pretend to be able to stop it and keep the thread intact, but we really don't need random Twitter rumors as titles and in OP's at the very least. If/when something is confirmed (or reported for that matter), feel free to update again. JGB.

If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, there never was a big story. The OP saw some writer on Twitter say that he was publishing something soon, and got way over excited. The story ended up being about fly fishing, I believe.

I am with you. I hope it is just a kid being stupid and no guns or drunken driving (super deadly) was involved. When I was that age I was on active duty and I did plenty of bad things. I try to not judge.

I can honestly say first hand that neither of the above happened. If you were decent at reporting 'information' you would look up arrest records (available to the public) and see that Carlos Hyde was NOT arrested. 'It sounds like Carlos Hyde was arrested for punching a woman in the face at a nightclub'? Are you kidding me? All you have to do is look up arrest records and see that your story is shit. Please don't spread rumors to gain viewers and instead present factual information.

First hand means you where there when it allegedly happened. Looking up records on the internet isn't first hand and also would not be relevant if he were not arrested or if the arrest was delayed in anyway.(Like her not pressing charges)

Anyways, where did this incident supposedly occur? I imagine the county is pertinent information people need to have when looking up any arrests.

I kind of doubt this is true. If he was arrested last night, the local media would have picked it up. All those guys have sources inside police offices. This story has been rumored for the last 14 hours with no confirmation...probably a sign it is falling apart.

Look guys, this is not a big deal. The lady in question probably worked at the bar and was asking Carlos to pay his tab. Then he claimed that some of the drinks on the tab weren't his and yada yada yada, Carlos punched her in the face. If it helps, Tim Tebow tried to stop him. This kind of thing happens all the time and the players involved learn their lesson and are model citizens going forward.

When alcohol is involved something bad always happens. Punch a girl in the face, sucker punch a guy, act like a complete ass when a girl doesn't want to bang you even though you're the starting QB (thanks Griese). I'd say the NCAA shouldn't allow athletes to drink but that would be unfair to those who don't act in such a manner. It's time to brainstorm.

"saying when alcohol is involved something always bad happens is a stupid statement."Why are you making yourself look stupid? "I've drunk a lot over the years." That is pretty clear from your post. Give your brain a rest every now and then. You'll thank me later.

You know I think certain people can get into trouble when they drink, but that's also why people under 21 can't drink according to the law. That's also where education and accountability comes into it on behalf of the coaches and the universities as obviously drinking occurs on all college campuses. Although I don't always understand why some drugs are illegal like marijuana and others like alcohol are not, I am also not a big fan of taking away the rights of people to put in their bodies what they wish. The key is education, responsibility, and accountability. If this is true I hope that he receives appropriate punishment, but that he also received appropriate education and support to learn, grow, and hopefully develop some better habits/decisions in the future.

I never understood why others feel the right to tell people what they can and cannot put in their bodies either. If I want to do heroine or meth then I should be able to. Is it bad for me? Depends on what I get out of it. To think that one human being believes they have the right to tell another one what they can and cannot do with their body when it does no harm to another is outrageous. This World is about experiences and to withhold ones that just affect that individual are loathsome.

Kouzes' & Posner's The Leadership Challenge cites that it's a common flaw of poor leaders to hold others to an unrealistically high standard of ethics and behavior while holding themselves to a lower standard by rationalizing their own actions.

When you're strung out and decide to suck dick in back alleys spreading STDs to support your habit or break into my house or rob a business that does impact other people. Weed is relatively harmless so I'm okay with that but no one can make a logical argument for why meth or heroin should be legal other than "MY BODY I'LL DO WHAT I WANT". If you honestly don't see the externalities of hard drug use I'm thankful you're not in a position to be making policy decisions with such a warped world view.

If it just happened last night / this morning, that's not surprising. Usually it seems like word will leak out right after an incident like this, and then you don't hear much about it again till court dates come up

Um, no. If OSU's starting RB was arrested it would have hit the local papers within the hour. Maybe if it was some no-name it might slip by. Hyde is the second biggest name on their roster behind Miller.

There's not enough smoke here from credible sources to make me believe this story yet. Could Hyde have been involved in something last night? Possibly. But I guarantee you there is no way he was arrested and it has been kept quiet this long.

.....looks like its definitely going down now.
Hyde stops tweeting, his roommate removes a tweet about Hyde not being there, more OSU fans are confirming it.....

That said, I really don't think this is a cause for excitement. I'm guessing the kid, er, man, is kicked off the team. But the tragic thing is that its another male athlete, OSU or not, that physically assaulted a woman.

It's not an indictment on OSU or Meyer, its an indictment on the fact that schools like OSU have to put huge signs about respecting women.....and that athletes still don't.

Little early for that kind of coverage, no? It's one thing for an OSU fan site or a UM fan site to discuss it but they'd be really, really liable putting stuff like that over the airwaves. Not too many people are awake and drooling for that kind of coverage at 11pm, either. And if a news conference is coming so early tomorrow morning then just wait until it's either confirmed or tease it with the early morning show because now you have a meeting confirmed by the school and that's better to report than jumping right to "this happened and involved these people".

I thought I'd paste the report narrative here. There's not really much to it, and the suspect is not named.

"The victim stated that on the listed date and time at the listed location that the listed Suspect struck her in the face with his elbow. The Victim stated that her nose began to bleed and she fell to the ground which caused her to twist her ankle. The Victim stated that she advised the bar staff of the incident but they did nothing to help her."

With so little detail it's hard to draw any conclusions from the report.
